Find what your looking for in Google Buzz w/ Advanced Search Options


So have you started using Google Buzz yet? 

I have to admit, I'm kind of obsessed already.
The big question is, will Buzz add to information overload or help us separate the wheat from the chaff?
An early complaint has been that Buzz you comment on or receive lands in your Inbox along with email to you. If your obsessed with keeping you Inbox empty, LifeHacker details how to set up a filter to avoid this. I also recommend applying a label to these filtered posts such as "Unread Buzz" so you can easily read them when you have time (yeah right).

If your already getting overwhelmed, try using Gmail's powerful Advanced Search Options to find what your looking for.
You'll notice a Search Buzz button from within the Gmail Buzz tab. Using this input box searches your Buzz content exclusively.


Here are a handful of operators culled from Gmail's full list. Let me know if you have some of your own.

# is:buzz - Type this while searching from your Inbox to find Buzz posts that were emails. 
# has: [link/video/image] - finds all posts with either a link, video, or image. 
# author: - finds all posts in your stream authored by the person whose name you enter. 
# commenter
